Posted by New Flyer D40LF 4050 on Wed Jan 5 21:16:45 2011, in response to Re: 1981 News Report: Grumman-Flxible 870 Cracked A-Frame Problems, posted by moviebuses on Tue Jan 4 10:02:25 2011. Wrong. Houston retired 200 Grummans in 1982 at a loss of $5 million dollars. That's why other TAs didn't follow through with dumping the buses. It was better to let them soldier on for a few more years and get SOME value out of them instead of eating the cost. But many Grumman fleets didn't have long lives. |
